BOOK RELEASE: Lena Mattsson – The Window Opens to the World Onsdag 30.9, Malmö Konsthall

Lena Mattsson is recognized for her way of highlighting and challenging injustices and conflicts in our society. In several of her works, she herself actively participates and weaves in her own experiences – she identifies strongly with the most vulnerable in our society. This very personal, artistic and poetic interweaving of life and art gives her work a unique expression. The book is richly illustrated and contains a number of previously unpublished installation photographs.

Vacker avhandling. Krönika av Clemens Altgård SKÅNSKA DAGBLADET

För fyra år sedan visade Moderna Museet i Malmö konstnären Lena Mattssons videotriptyk I betraktarens öga. På vernissagen var verkets huvudrollsinnehavare Bo Cavefors på plats och publikintresset var överväldigande. Ursprungligen gjordes verket till en utställning i Borås med rockmusik som tema. Men Cavefors är ingen rockstjärna. Däremot är han känd som en legendarisk förläggare i en kulturradikal anda med samma rebelliska attiyd som rockens pionjärer och något av samma mytologiska status.

OBS Sveriges Radio P1

Bo Cavefors - den nakne förläggaren Grötiga terroristtankar, banbrytande filosofi och viktiga litterära författarskap. Allt rymdes hos Bo Cavefors förlag. Det får en av fundera över dagens intellektuella klimat, säger Tor Billgren. Länk till radioprogrammet

Legenden Cavefors är avmystifierad Men legenden Cavefors är avmystifierad, i Lena Mattssons videoverk.

Recension av Bertil Falk Tidningen Kulturen

Lysande dokumentär om Bo Cavefors In the Eye of the Beholder Modern Muséet i Malmö Det var fullsmockat med folk när konstnären Lena Mattson hade vernissage på Modern Muséet i Malmö, men huvudrollsinnehavaren var snarare hennes objekt, nämligen Bo Cavefors, än hon själv. I hennes dokumentärfilm In the Eye of the Beholder (I betraktarens öga) står nämligen Bo Cavefors i blickpunkten och den dokumentation som Lena Mattson har åstadkommit är suverän

Recension av Zenzat

Superb dokumentär med Bo Cavefors Vad ska man kalla Bo Cavefors? Den avantgardiska bokutgivningens förebild? En ikon? En levande legend? I dag har Zen Zat varit på vernissage på Moderna Muséet i Malmö och sett Lena Mattsons dokumentärfilm In the eye of the beholder (I betraktarens öga), där huvudrollsinnehavaren är just Bo Cavefors. Låt oss genast säga att detta är ett lysande dokument, där Bo Cavefors själv berättar om sitt liv, sin attityd till livet, bokutgivning och erotik.

I skuggan av en katastrof

See the Human Being (I skuggan av en katastrof) Tillägnat minnet av Greve Linde. Performancen (I skuggan av en katastrof ) är en fortsättning på performacen See the Human Being som jag genomförde framför socialdepartementets bevaknings kamera1996 i Stockholm. I skuggan av den fruktansvärda naturkatastrofen i Asien, som berörde oss alla djupt. Möte Greve Linde döden ensam på en av Sveriges härbergen. Han var en av tusentals svenskar som är hemlösa och som ofta möter döden tidigt i livet.

Teknologiskt akvarellmåleri i Skärhamn Lena Mattsson visar Beyond the Surface, alltså Under Ytan. I en kombination av gammalt och nytt förenar hon akvarellmålningar med DVD-projektioner. Lena Mattsson är född i Bohuslän i Kungshamn i en gammal stenhuggarsläkt och de här rötterna syns tydligt i hennes behandling av sommaridyllen Bohuslän. Den är lockande och farlig, idyllisk och mystisk på samma gång. Sveriges Radio, Kulturnytt i P1
